Using Flash Media

The first step is to encode your media, making it web ready. Adobe provides several tools that make encoding into the proper formats easy. For live video, you can encode directly from your webcam using just Flash Player in your browser, or for high-quality broadcasts, you can use free Flash Media Live Encoder software.

An additional way to deliver video is with HTTP Dynamic Streaming, which enables high-quality (H.264 or VP6), network-efficient HTTP streaming for media delivery that is tightly integrated with Flash Access for robust content protection in Flash Player 10.1 and Adobe AIR 2. HTTP Dynamic Streaming supports quality of service (QoS) monitoring, adaptive bitrate streaming, and DVR functionality, continuing to make the Adobe Flash Platform the choice for reliable delivery of protected, high-quality playback experiences.

Your progressive or streaming media can be viewed via a SWF file using Flash Player in the browser, Adobe Flash Lite software on devices, or Adobe AIR on the desktop. Open Source Media Framework enables developers to easily assemble pluggable components to create high-quality, full-featured playback experiences, lowering development costs, providing quicker turnaround, and providing a more efficient workflow. Flash Media Playback can get video up and running in minutes on your web site.
